Shacklewell Lane E8
Our clients, a musician and producer and a yoga teacher, bought a 19th century dairy in Dalston 20 years ago, and have been living and working there in a variety of creative ways since. The property has been used as a music recording studio, a furniture shop and as a house, and is now home to the couple and their two young children. Our work consists of two phases of construction. Phase 1 will entail the renovation of the rear building, the old dairy and milking parlour, creating a glazed link corridor between this structure and the house facing the street. Phase 2 will involve the creation of a new roof-top bedroom on top of the house itself. The project involves some creative demolition of a some poor quality lean-to structures which leads to the revelation of a series of courtyards on the site. The result is a number of ambiguous spatial thresholds, internal and external rooms that are inter-connected when open to each other in the summer months. Construction began at the end of 2022 and completion summer 2024.
The project was featured on The Modern House Journal. Read more about it here.
